I don't discuss politics on this blog often, if ever, because, well, I don't have much faith in them anymore. Especially with this year's election. However, Trump does provide some promising things. Such as being able to add him as the final boss in old NES classics. There isn't really much to say about these games, the Trumptendo series is literally just Trump plopped into classics. But I felt like it was a humorous enough concept to warrant me talking about it. Until Nintendo comes and DMCA's it because they forgot what fun fucking is.

Donkey Trump, Jr. and 3 all see DK replaced with Trump, and you must defeat, save and stop him from ruining your gardens. Super Bernie Bros has Bernie Sanders trying to take down the vile Trump, sadly he failed, but at least we can immortalize his effort in this romhack. Donald Trump's Urban Champion is essentially a black face modification to the base game, I'd sarcastically say something like "nice" if these weren't meant to be games focusing so heavily around Donald. Isis Bomberman is similar, though instead of our traditional bomber we have an Isis agent going around trying to bomb some nice blonde white people (I assume this is some hellscape wherein there are multiple Donald Trumps flopping about). The final game is Donald Trump's Punch-Out. I didn't get to the final boss to see him in action, but the title screen shows his smug, hideous scowl. Also, the first match up is changed from Glass Joe to Joe Biden, but the others seemed to remain the same. Kind of a shame.

So yeah, this is a pointless bit of fun at the expense of an idiot who might be president soon. I guess fucking about with roms is one way to handle the possibly dark days ahead. I certainly enjoyed this idea, and while this blog is short and fairly bland at least you can enjoy some reasonably funny reskins of some classic games that you (probably) already love. You can find a link at the beginning of this blog. Happy voting!
